Don'T Make Me Miss You

I don’t want to miss you So don't make me... Just to prove a point To Fulfill a need There is no point or need for that I miss you You know it’s true So, don’t hide behind the guise Of busyness The hide and seek neediness Of your heart For affirmation's seal I miss you Let it be enough Don’t ask the whys or wherefores Of what that all means It seems It’s just the way it is Essential entity to me I miss you Just let it be Just bask in the knowledge In the serenity and sweet simplicity Of this truth I miss you… I do Eileen Manassian

A necessary write! Many people play games of love...for attention and whatnot. It is a game of much anguish, hard on the heart. We have each no doubt been involved in situations like this. Help me if I had to go through this at this stage in life, would I even have the patience for the hint of the chase? Maybe, sadly, probably so, We are all suckers for the mystery and miseries of the game. You've penned another miracle! I am favorite-ing it now!

I do...need reassurance. That's just me. Think you know me well enough by now...but thanks! I'm just a silly goose...I know. I can't help it. It's who I am. Thanks, Richard. You've always been kind to me...I appreciate your presence in my life.

Thanks, my dear. I've missed you. Hope all is well, Liam. Do you have a new one up that I haven't visited? I always do visit you. At times it may be late at night...before I sleep. I'll be on my phone and too tired to write, but I love your work. :)

It is good to know that we are indeed missed. This is a thoughtful reminder to all of us that there are those who miss and care about us.

Yes, but it is good for it to be SPOKEN now and again. It goes both ways...I know. Thanks for coming back here to say that. Hugs

Me caring about you should be an unspoken truth demonstrated by my dedication to you and your writing.

Thanks, Richard. I'd have loved to see the singular personal pronoun used here....That's ok. It works. Thanks for the post.

There is a sweet and heavy tenderness to this poem of heart Eileen. Walkin away from a woman like you seems so impossible. This is poetry, and heart truth that everyone can relate to, yet its so unique too. This poem says everything that everyone ever wanted to hear from an estranged lover. Deep! J.AB.

:) Justin....I'm at a loss for words. Depression makes my life difficult...and affects me in so many ways...Then again...My highs are SO extremely high....It has it's positives, I guess, but to walk away from me...perhaps isn't as difficult as you think. I'm a trouble soul...but on the bright days, I sing. Hugs
